June is Bee Month

Posted: June 8, 2015

Over the past several months we have heard a lot of buzz about the plight of the honey bee. This is a real concern, and the loss of bees has serious implications on our food supply. And it’s not just fruits and vegetables, but meat and dairy products as well. To learn more, please read this informative article by Susan Vorwek of the Doylestown Food Co-Op.

In recognition of the importance of the plight of honey bees, the Doylestown Food Co-op has designated June as “Bee Month – In the Land of Milk and Honey”. As such, the Co-op has MANY ways to learn more about bees, beekeeping and honey.
